I emailed Jack and will post response.

This is an old email I thought you may be interested in.

1. Who funded the research of the studies they are using?

the funding came from our own personal savings that we invested into the company. most companies that sell supplements do not want to do double blind studies, they are afraid the results might not show much of anything. we came from a differnt approach. we wanted to know what our pill was capable off. we want to do more studies, but they are very costly.

> 2. What is the source and quality of their ingredients?

we use only the highest quality of raw material. in fact even though the suppliers of the raw material send certficates of analysis to verify the product, we hold all new material in quaranteen and send it out again to check for microbials, and containaments, then when it is cleared we start to manufacture. Then the final product is sent to be tested again.

> 3. What lab formulates the product for them?we formulated the product.

no one else did it for us. we spent a long time getting it right. the product is very complex, and we have portions of it made in 3 different locations. not all manufactueres are able to do all the bits we require.

> 4. How does the source compare to food sources of these plant sterols?

sterols are found in seeds, nuts, fruits and begetables. however modern day processing destroys a lot of these valuable phyto-nutrients. we know from studies done in Florida by a UK university that many of the fruits and begetables that are sprayed with pesticides product much less of these phyto-nutrients and so the diet does not give out enough. also because the diet years ago had less fat content and fat in the diet blocks absorption of sterols, people are not getting enough of them in their diets to do the job of immune modulation.

in general most people started to take ImunoZen alone, and found it started to improve their symptoms. others were under the care of doctors, who in many cases were on special protocols, BUT when the doc introduced ImunoZen to the patients protocol, they noticed faster improvement.

if you are asking what is our credentials, Alan is a UK trained nuclear physicist, and also has a chemistry background. Jack is a UK trained engineer. we never dreampt of starting a supplement business. but when other people asked to try the pill and found it helped them, things started to develop and before we knew it we were being asked by more and more people where they could buy the product. so we started off selling to doctors through a Vancouver distributor, and moved into retail health stores. we now sell in the USA, and UK and parts of EU. i guess thats concidered the traditional way of selling product. we have done it this way for 10 years. our goal was to help as many people as possible, but the traditional way is slow and hard. we were introduced to network marketing and saw that it opened up a beautiful area of being able to talk to people one on one. we want to make sure that we present our story, and our product in a very honest and credable way. the traditional network marketing of almost a "pentecostal revival approach" just doesnt sit with us. I think that came across at the Mapleridge get together. We had comments from many people that they were surprised it wasnt what they typically had expected from an MLM meeting.

- a misunderstanding in the email and some reworded questions much the same but with some new info...

1. Did Alan (or you both) pay for his own study?

we both paid for the study out of our hard earned savings. nothing has been given to us in donations, loans from banks, govment handouts, all from the sweat of our brows.

> on this?)

cellasate is an essential fatty acid complex. from peptides. it has components that help to make the nutrients more bioavailble to the body. many supplements on the market today have very low absorption rates. sterols are easily destroyed when isolated from foods, so had to protect them by also enteric coating in order to get the right therapeutic results we were after

> 3. What lab?

we test our product in a independant lab in edmonton called "Labsmart" they are Health Canada approved and it is important that products be tested and cotrolled. most supplements cut corners, or do a sampling of tests once in a while. Many companies that have products with multiple ingredients in them, only spot check one or two of the actives. they concider that sufficient, we check everything.

of course we have

> realistic consumption amounts of veg etcas i mentioned above it is hard to get enough sterols in the average diet. we pull our sterols from organic, non-GMO soy beans. you would have to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables these days to get 300mg of sterols, most diets today to not afford this volume, nor would people eat that amount. there are all different grades of sterols at raw material source. many in todays market come from wood pulp. we do not like tis idea as they are from pulp mill affluent, and carry over some nasty chemicals used in the mills. most of the big food companies for instance that put sterols in foods are from wood derived sources, they are much cheaper.

it was developed to initially help Alan battle cancer and to support his immune system, and allow his body to fight the disease without the use of pharmaceuticals. once we started research we knew that the body is capable of doing many things, and sometimes it only needs some gental encouragement. we did not think of a business aspect, only how we could help Alan, it took of from there, and we have been around now for 10 years.
